Unschooling is home education with the child taking the primary responsibility instead of a parent. The parents’ role is to act as facilitator of the child’s self-learning and help the child procure additional resources to learn more about the subject areas that interest him or her greatly.

The main difference between traditional homeschooling and unschooling is the lack of curriculum. Unschoolers don’t follow a curriculum based on age or grade, and all traditional subject areas – such as reading, writing, math, science, social science, physical education – aren’t necessarily covered in depth by the parent and child.
